Grantchester
Manage episode 300475880 series 2083530
I grew up in this English village just outside the university town of Cambridge. Grantchester is surrounded by flat farmland. Along the narrow river Camb which connects Cambridge to Grantchester are the Meadows which for 800 years have been home to herds of cows and crowds of revelers. Just like the rest of the world Grantchester has changed. The village has had to withstand the loss of the school, the village shop and the Green Man pub. And yet, the glue that holds the community together still exists. The Parish Magazine, remaining pubs, orchard, barrel races, art classes, church and the networks of neighbors that banded together to help during the pandemic, show the evolution of community.
